  1. Duuuuude. That literally came out two days ago and I missed it. Killer.
  2. So the mighty TRX is returning. And very well may see a redeye tuned version. So I now have to debate going back to Ram (the interior I loved, the straight line power was exhilarating but utterly useless for a truck) or sticking with the Raptor (which is far more nimble and behaves like an off-road truck should). if I really wanted the power, I could drop a whipple in for $15k and I’m sure exceed the TRX by a hefty margin, but void my warranty.
  3. That stretch of Tyler/Harrison is full of so much win. It’s hard to go wrong.
  4. That’s an ex-cellent choi-ce.
  5. It’s crazy to me that folks will drop $75k on a package that you can have done for $30-35k without the Shelby bits. But I guess money doesn’t matter to the folks that do.
  6. From your lips to God’s ears. And that the SEC refs ignore bias and under the table paychecks.
  7. Ahead of the first CFP, taking stock (forgetting the dumbassery of the AP) OU: Best wins: #21 Michigan (home) - two scores #23 Tennessee (road) - one score Auburn (home) - one score Losses: #7 Ole Miss (home) - two scores #13 Texas (neutral) - three scores Texas: Best wins: #11 OU (neutral) - three scores #15 Vandy (home) - one score Miss St (road) - one score Losses: #1 Ohio St (road) - one score Florida (road) - one score Similar in many respects. But head to head should matter. We rank 9 and OU 11 on SOR, FPI 8 vs 16. SOS 11 vs 12 But again, head to fucking head.
  8. Allstate playoff predictor says same with a loss to Georgia.
  9. You can do magic. You can have anything that you desire. Magic.
  10. You argue in circles. I’m guessing you also argue at the mirror. Here’s a hot take, win games that are still ahead of us and nobody will give a flying fuck about your intro post. And if the Horns don’t, you can argue whatever your point is then.
  11. I literally addressed that very point. So now who's obtuse? That the selection of SMU over Bama in ANY way reflects a committee rewarding teams that don’t schedule strong OOC games OR incentivizes other teams to do the same, is asinine and just wrong.
  12. Not sure how one can be intentionally obtuse, but OK. You seem to have this all figured out.
  13. Well you pretty clearly stated as part of your point the disincentive to strong OOC games. Which SMU did no more so than Texas did. That they lost in the first round isn’t related to this.
  14. Not sure the point you are making on SMU, but half of their non conference games last year were P5 matchups. Just like Texas last year. Unlikely Texas this year.
  15. Graduation time
  16. I’m just glad that no matter the outcome Saturday, our goal posts are safe and won’t be seen floating Lake Austin.
  17. We are debating a cripple fight victor.
  18. Hopefully it’s on of the cherry Nelson barrels that they put in a few bottlings. Some of them were exceptional.
  19. Seems a tad pricey for young albeit cask strength Jack.
  20. And if you like Kavalan, you must try Amrut if you haven’t yet.
  21. Negative
  22. Back on topic…. The bulldogs may look like a running team based on the box score stats, but when you hive off the cupcake games and really focus on AzSt, Tenn, Aggy and our common opponent in Florida, it tells a different story. Of those four games, they averaged 230 ypg passing and 122 ypg rushing. And those stats are against three average defenses and one bad, bad defense. On defense, the dogs allowed some eye popping rushing yards to Aggy and AzSt. And gave up 213 rushing ypg on average in those four games. Removing our cupcakes, and looking at only OhSt, OU, KY and of course Florida, our defense gave up an average of 223 and 105 ypg, respectively. We have had a much higher defensive beta to the standard deviation of course. What’s most telling of this cherry-picking approach is the TO battle. Where the bulldogs have given up the ball twice as many times as we have (6-3), but have also forced two more than our defense has (8-6) in the same games. TLDR: The teams are actually well matched on defense, despite how elite we want to believe our defense is (and exactly the same results against Florida). And they aren’t really a running team. This will very likely come down to the TOs in the box score. And if any one (or more) of our RBs can find space (despite our OL), we can win this game running (pun intended).
  23. My second daughter asking me thoughts around attending SMU with her older sister pretty much satisfied any Lambo itch I may have had.
  24. Children is your answer.
  25. SI revenge may be the most fun I’ve ever had in golf. The pin placements are quite creative.
